Dee yee nae hev Wickes north of the border? Bet there is a Scots equivalent.

Wots wix ??

I've had another look at the pics and agree it doesn't actually look disastrously bad. electrical bits under the dash seem to have only had smoke on them, which shouldn't hurt, much! There is a company that offers kits you can convert a Disco...

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

No, he's thinking about Dan's version :cool:

I think you should buy a couple of these ... https://www.budget-fire.co.uk/product/5kg-co2-fire-extinguisher https://www.screwfix.com/c/safety-workwear/fire-extinguishers/cat850454?fireextinguishertype=co2 Or if (like me), there is no...

Went to Wix this morning to collect me noo lawn sprinkler. Not had any rain for a while and ground is getting parched. Also got some noo 5mm and 6mm HSS drill bits as the ones I have been using for the last couple of decades are now scrap.

Assuming the Nanocom is reading the ECU correctly, then surely "right side airbag" is the one in side of the seat back ? Hence the connector under the seat, not the steering wheel clockspring..

Seeing as the thread is 10.5 years old, I think you are not wrong :D The Pilgrims post could win the oldest post resurection of the week award too ...

Yea I’ve decided I’m probably just going to remove anything on value off the body that is salvageable, get rid of the body check over the chassis backend that the fire was at and rear axle. If all seems ok then I’ll just wheel the chassis, engine...

They are called Lucas connectors ... eBay is your friend (other sellers are out there) ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/shop/lucas-connectors?_nkw=lucas+connectors

https://www.autosparks.co.uk/land-rover-defender-90-110-chassis-wiring-harness-442 Maybe they have something you can use.

Clean connectors with electrical cleaner with before coupling back together. When I had it it was the connector behind panel below steering wheel . 4 screws to remove panel, yellow wires are SRS, pull connector apart spray refit

The internal box sections of the tub (wheel arches) are pretty robust and would support planks running across the car. You could sit on them, lie on them etc and probably carry a few hundred kilo's if the planks/boards were robust enough. I...

I reckon they might have found one or given up by now.

Eyup guys. First time posting here so hopefully doing it right... had to disconnect the wiring loom to pull through chassis rail for a xmember repair. Disconnected the ground/earth connections for the gearbox and found theyre pretty knackered...

I arrived back in the UK today so will start to get the RR sorted and up for sale or at least one of them. Flew from Brisbane to Bankock with Singapore Airlines and then flew up to Chang Ria the next day with Air Asia and spent a couple of day...

Don't know if this would be any use as I think you are probably on the right needle now. And I apologise for having told you the needle for an MG Metro, altho TBH none of us knew it wasn't an MG engine...

Hi @Wagon Loon , thanks for your reply. The channel seems to fit vertically at the rear end of the sliding window. See image below. They way it was previously fitted seems to be incorrect as it would not seal correctly.

I think we are beginning to say the same thing now. Weaken the mixture a bit, and or change the plugs. If the engine really is a standard as it seem to be, now, I'd go with weaken ing the mix a tad to begin with. OK, this is for bikes, but a...

PS. Nothing wrong with the belts, all model dependant…

Hi, I face the same issue. Any luck on this?

Same here tis drizzle rain off out to get some food shopping, hopefully we come back to better weather I was planning on cooking my tomahawk steaks on the bbq. :p

Panic over my neebs gave me a phone. 🤣 🤣

I've bought several write offs back from the insurers. They ask scrap value which is naff all. I then repaired them and ran them until it wasn't worth it. Scrap value on yours would be pretty well nix as they would have to pay a scrap yard to...

I actually just use a canvas hold all that fits quite neatly behind the bulkhead or on top of one the wheel arches, I then just bungee it to hold it place. It worked better for me because I realised when I needed it I could just lift the whole...

OK, so here are the very sooty BP6ES plugs. All equally awful, no special standout cases. I shall pop some BP5ES's in (hotter plugs I think). I hope they don't do any damage, and it might burn off the carbon. :)

i have to fix the dizzy yes ! that's could be my last job ;)

Well the weather is well iffy here, thunderstorm early this morning, followed by us being in the cloud and now there are intermittent downpours. W's tum is playing her up so we aren't going up to the do at the "lac", if it clears up we may go up...
